She told me of it. / said: STUFF and

But she went to a druggists, neverthe-

to throw away her money OF it, &c.
He said he didn't keep it. but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn

T. S.-For the absolute truth of the
above statement refer To The following
gentlemen, who are personally ac-
quainted with the facts: Mr.. Alex

also reply to letters of inquiry.
We submit that the above astonish-
ing cure, vouched for as it is by repu-
table Men. is deserving of a thorough
and candid inv.~= iration by thinking
people. And We further submit that
when druggists turn away customers
by falsiNing the character of remedy
because they do not happen to have it
on hand, they do a great wrong. II
this afflicted man had not disregarded
the druggists advice and sent else
where for the remedy he would without
doubt have been i'm his grave.
Other letters of similar character
from prominent individuals. which
stamp K:iSkine as remedy of I'M
doubted merit. will be sent ON applica-
ton. Price. Si.0O, or 6 bottles. $500.
Sold by Druggists. or sent by mail on
receipt of price.
